I would like to introduce you to Luna, she has a nice large enclosure at Black Pine, and here she is resting on her platform, and probably taking in the scents in the air, from the visitors that day.

Sat. March 15th was the official opening day after the hard winter. The animals seemed very alert, and talkative, and it was nice day, but cool out.

I used the canon 40D set on continuous mode-fstop 16, with the canon 70-300 IS USM lens handheld. I used photofiltre studio, and perfect effects 4 for editing.

This is all I have ready from my visit to Black Pine, and tomorrow will break away from this series for a bit.

I appreciate the comments, thank you.

Tigs♥ =^..^=

A very fine beauty Sandi. You say they were talkative. What kind of a conversation did they carry on with you?
